Arc Raiders Drops AI Voices for Real Actors

TL;DR
Embark Studios says Arc Raiders has shifted away from AI-generated voice lines, with many lines now recorded by real actors and paid for booth time; the studio uses AI mainly as a production tool to test lines before recording and still licenses or uses AI for non-essential lines like certain location pings. The move is intended to improve immersion and reassure players about actor involvement, though some AI usage remains.
